I have a Century Arms CETME .308 that I'm thinking about selling to fund a bolt action. Problem is I don't really know where to start price wise. I have no idea what this gun was worth pre-panic and realistically what would it go for now? It is in great shape as far as Century CETME's go. I have never even shot it. Also has a scope mounted on it. Anyone know what it's worth?

Yeah, things are definitely crazy. It isn't even for sale yet and I've got a PM from a guy offering me $750 without even seeing it. He said he may go more when he see's it if it is in as good of shape as I say it is. Wish I hadn't sold my Bushmaster .308 with Nikon Monarch glass early last month. That thing is probably worth a cool million now

Here's the deal. I love two stage triggers, Hogue over molded stocks and Nikon glass but I'm not a bolt gun guy so I am open to suggestions. Here are my thoughts. Savage .308 stainless, Accu trigger (kind of gives me that 2 stage feel in a weird way), Drop mag, Hogue over molded full bed stock, maybe a muzzle break (will decide after shooting without one), Nikon Monarch scope. I want a short, light weight rifle to use for hunting and target shooting.

The muzzle brake is not needed on a hunting rifle but if you want to shoot repeatly at the range its nice. The guys next to you won't like it .

That's what Matt at Williams was telling me. Apparently some guides won't let you use a brake because they are extremely loud. I'm gonna just play the break by ear (no pun intended). If I like the way it shoots without one that would be the best scenario by the sounds if it. I started shooting rifle at a young age with a .338 win mag. As you can imagine it taught me to flinch. I became very recoil sensitive. I have re-taught myself to shoot but I will be the first to admit anything I can do to keep that flinch from coming back sounds good to me.

I dont know why people do that to a new shooter thinking its funny . Once you get this rifle get out and shoot it . Shoot it once a week or more foe a while and you will loose that flinch.

I'm not new to shooting at all. Not being a braggart but I'm a pretty good shooter. There is story behind the flinch which has been gone for a while. I'm just new to bolt actions and as with anything new I tend to be nervous of the unknown. The last thing I want is to see the return of a flinch.
